the o-line can stay healthy. This is a big IF with the injury histories of Long, Saffold, and Wells in the past few years. On paper Long-Robinson-Wells-Saffold-Barksdale is potentially a top 5 OL unit, BUT we can't ignore the recent past. Imo we are better prepared if one or multiple guys are out for an extended period of time, with guys like Barnes/Jones & Joseph, but we're still vastly better with these 5.
If this unit can play 12+ games together I think we at LEAST get a WC.
Say what you want about our WRs and our DBs, but I think those things will work themselves out. 2 or more pass catchers will emerge as THE guys and the others will make key contributions. As for the DBs, I'm not as concerned about JJ & the safeties as some are. I think GW's scheme will really work to JJ's & Tru's strengths as Walton's didn't last year. I also think McLeod is better than some realize and the DBs will have the benefit of playing behind a fierce front 7.
What do you guys think?
